I’d start with just bleeding the brakes. Sounds like air in the lines somewhere. Brake fluid is cheap and you only need a wrench for the caliper nipple and a piece of tubing to do the job.

If they for some reason let air get into the master cylinder(completely drained the system, or didn’t top it off before it drained the reservoir while bleeding) there is usually a nipple to bleed that up by the fluid reservoir somewhere around the lever.

Brake fluid eats a bunch of stuff…so don’t get that on the paint/plastics, etc.

Glad it was something simple and it fixed it for you. My comments above are relative. I have a 950 standard that if you even think about turning you’re already turning. I’d daily that thing everytime over my 600 supersport. The supersport is work. It’s fun for its purpose though.

It’s a ~70lbs/30kg heavier bike with a 2inch/5cm longer wheelbase, and wider heavier tires compared to the zx4rr. All of those factors will lead to more steering effort. Not much can be done about that, it’s the physics of the bike you chose. They’re far more stable at higher speeds, less desirable in city traffic.

Assuming these are the limiting factors. Looks like you don’t even have mirrors, so the handle bars can be swapped to a shorter bar as well but this is just going to make steering even more difficult. I see you have crash pegs sticking out the side. Not much reason to shorten the above if those are the widest part.

You could put an aftermarket rearset on to adjust the foot peg position but they’re generally not cheap and part of the reason they’re positioned the way they are is so you can use your legs to keep you planted when you launch it. You’ll need to look for some that allow adjustment in the opposite direction from usual. Most move them further up and further back for track riding from oem positions.

One of the bikes I own is a 600 supersport and it wouldn’t be my first choice for a daily unless nearly your entire commute is highway speeds. Even mine can break every speed limit in the country in first gear.

As long as no one is expecting it to be Medicare Advantage for all. Which is the privatized variant of Medicare that just over the past few years broke 50% enrollment of retirees. It’s so bad that entire hospital networks are dropping it. John Oliver has a good segmentdescribing its difference and its intentional confusion with original Medicare.
